Chilwell Fair

Friday 23 March 2018

No.1 – 22 February 2018

Only five weeks to go!

We’re thrilled that the 2018 Chilwell Fair is shaping up to be a terrific event. With new rides and amusements, new food stalls and a ‘secret’ highlight we can’t wait for March 23. The Chilwell Fair has always been a highlight of the school and community calendars and the commitment of our parents has been instrumental in maintaining this reputation. This goes far beyond the significant funds raised as it demonstrates the unique enthusiasm and pride of our school community. There are over 280 families at Chilwell. We need support from everyone. What you can do to help make the 2018 Chilwell Fair amazing:

Contact family + friends and bring them along with you on the night

HELP! Each family is expected to give an hour on a stall so keep an eye out for volunteer request forms which will be out soon

The excitement is building as the Chilwell Fair extravaganza approaches showcasing Chilwell’s biggest and most popular event “Chilwell’s Got TALENT”….!

We are looking for all talents again this year to come forward…

So can you sing like Beyonce, dance up a storm, beat out a ballad like Robbie, strum a tune on the guitar, have some crazy yet fabulous dance moves, have the magic acts to astound even the famous Dynamo or blow us away with teacher impersona-tions..?

Last year we had 28 acts and 78 students performing…let’s beat that record this year…! We want YOU!!

Whatever your extraordinary talent…this is your time to shine!

So here’s what you need to do – grab your friends, work out your act, choose your song/music and start practising!!

A group can have up to 5 children maximum (due to stage restrictions & size)one item per child and each act will go for ap-proximately 2 mins so that we can make sure everyone gets a go.

Just fill in the form below and return it to the office by tomorrow. Acts that require music will need to be pre-arranged on a CD/USB. Acts must not contain any offensive words or actions.

Once a group is submitted, any changes will need to be discussed with Mr Welsh.

Set Up and Pack up

Set up: The Fair takes a few hands to place marquees, erect the wine tent, assemble the stage, place

trestle tables etc. This happens on Friday, March 23 throughout the day, starting at 9 am. We need as

many as possible to help out!

Pack up: On Saturday morning we pack up the gear that was not put away by various stall workers on

Friday night. We start at 9 am and are usually out of the school by 12. This enables classes/children to

start school on Monday as per normal.

Help: Truck. Part of the Fair organisation is the picking up of various items eg stage and spare

marquees. In the past we have been able to borrow a truck from a business. Unfortunately this year this

is not possible so we are searching for a truck ( removal size) to undertake the pick ups. We would need it

for half a day on March 22, day before the Fair.
